  • It was the best concert of my life, bar none. Idc!    It was extraordinary, it was ineffable.  I knew I loved it based on the videos but I... Hey I don't know.    Best moment

Shes too slow and too un-engaging for a musician in 2025. And thats on that.

It has nothing to do with the music, but everything with her approach to releasing and pushing her music

But…the tings you said only relate to the success of the projects? Does that weigh heavily on how you personally receive and connect with them? 

Genuinely asking…
 

 

Why are All Night and Haunted so high in her Spotify charts? The taste jumped out.

I would say the only aspect that is impacted by this in terms of my listening behavior is the longevity and hype I feel while listening to the projects in the longrun. Also, the way i connect with the projects is different.

 

I dont listen to a lot of ST these days, but i have a very deep connection to it due to the feeling I remember having when it dropped. Same for Lemonade. Same for Rennie. I fear it won't be the same for CC, tho ive streamed it a lot.

 

Perception and sustainability matters because it creates community and thus results in longevity. Look at the Beatles. Look at MJ. Look at Taylor.

 

Theres a reason you dont see any Paula Abdul stans anywhere and shes pretty much forgotten, no matter how at one point Abduls music made her fans feel and consume her music.

 

I think its fair to wish for Bey to have a Beatles trajectory rather than a Abdul one, if you get what i mean.

And seeing the choices she makes, i fear for her longevity in the next 10-20 years.

she used a black heart and she's switching her style, if that's not teasing nothing is 

No pics with Brandy at any show she's attended… Lemme clamp 🥴

It's crazy how recognisable that Drunk in love dubai vocal moment is at this point.

 

That tiktok from a few days ago with all the confetti (even though its not actually from her performance) having 40million views

I'm always glad when the 03/04 class of R&B girls speak candidly and admit how much Beyoncé's arrival as a solo artist changed their label expectations and made them slightly insecure. Brandy spoke about it once in a documentary of some sort:

Brandy is one of those artists who never recovered because of her shady countenance: (1) lying about her pregnancy with a whole fabricated reality show, and (2) becoming an annoying fly in Kelly Rowland's ear pitting her against Beyoncé and attempting to break their friendship apart. It's a shame because that voice is something special.

 

Unlucky for Brandy: shifting label landscapes caused her to be signed to one of Beyoncé's big co-writers (Amanda Ghost - president of Epic Records at the time*) at a time she was massively underperforming label expectations (Human ), and only lasted one album there.

 

*(Co-writer of "Beautiful Liar", three of the I Am... folk ballads, "Once In A Lifetime" for Cadillac Records, unreleased records "Control" and "Erotic".)

Her getting thick again means she's definitely back to her home life again 

 

Eating good

lbr she wasn't exactly skinny during this tour nor during Ren's release year. i remember the red polka dot dress she wore a week before announcing Ren and everyone saying she's thick which means the album can't be coming anytime soon

 

i don't think we can gauge if she's ready for an album release based on her appearance like back in the day :deadbanana:

Beyoncé spent decades telling us how important live performances and music videos are to her vision. We now get commercials and hotel openings, so yes

I actually love seeing favé out and about enjoying her life. She looks so calm and happy :heart:

She's been active recently :coffee: Interesting

I too was hoping for a pic of some acknowledgment of each other

I don't think Ms. Norwood is a fan like @trainsskyscrapers said unfortunately 🥴

Interesting insights from y'all.

 

I learned from those candid pics before Break My Soul (giving more home life than anything else) to not predict her release schedule based on that. She really could announce at any time, given that she won't touch a stage until the Grammys or her tour anyway lol. 

 

As for the ramp-up in social activity. I'm 50/50. 

 

Part of me simply thinks she's been dropping pics as part of her usual thing of putting better pics than the candids up on her IG (as more people will see that). Those pics with Patti, Monica etc weren't taken by her team, and we all know how our girl is verrrrry particular about her image. 

 

Her posting the pics with Kelly was cute, but a little odd given that Kelly herself posted them two weeks before. I kinda have a hunch that it's simply for the reasons above (e.g. quickly flood the gram with approved pics).

 

Equally, the F1 thing is random in an exciting way. Act III coded or associated? Something Las Vegas related? Or just rich people schmoozing? We'll see.
